For my birthday I wanted to just have a low key day at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. My parents joined us on the adventure, and I think equally enjoyed the experience. We fed the giraffes, wondered the zoo, fed the birds and enjoyed the views. After the Zoo we had lunch in Castle Rock at a BBQ place on the side of the highway. It was a lovely day. Here's to another year!

In Vail my boys were throwing rocks into the river. I'd like to think that boys never outgrow this joy. The two of them stood on the banks, cheering with each splash. I think Jason hoped that little A would request he dip his hand back down in the water to gather more pebbles "again, one more" time several times so that the game didn't end.

The light was magic, it settled over the valley bringing warm, golden tones to the water creating some of my most recent favorite photos.

We love the fresh mountain air. We love to wander the streets from the Village to Lionshead. We love to eat our favorite restaurants and try out new-to-us places.

We like to adventure, and spend time as a family replenishing.

This little trip, the little guy was such a happy and well behaved boy. He loved playing at the pirate park with his daddy, and loved throwing rocks in the river.

Like most trips up to Vail, I photograph, and Jason finds us a brewery. This time we tried out Vail Brewing Co. and loved their beers.

I also must admit that on Sunday morning before the Farmer's Market (where we bought some of the best peaches), there was a fire alarm in our hotel and Ryan Sutter of Bachelor-family fame was there to save the day. I've joke on our all trips for years that maybe we would see him and this time we did. Little A was more excited than all of us to see the fireman, and he was very friendly waving to our boy.
